Security Swabbing
Our Unifor Health and Safety Rep, Fred Whiting has looked into the issue of Employee Security Screening where our hands are swabbed when we are screened at the employee entrance. Fred spoke to the CATSA Manager at YVRAP, Carlos, who has advised the swabs are switched every 40th time used or upon request. If you are going through the employee entrance to security and want a fresh cloth used but run into resistance, ask for the manager to be called. Please let me know if you encounter any problems.
